Peony is a genus of about 30 species of plants famous for its beautiful blossoms. It’s a slow-growing, long-lived, deciduous, herbaceous perennial which dies to the ground in winter or small, woody shrub (so-called, tree peony) that keeps its frame in winter, with lush, green foliage and beautiful, giant, bowel-shaped flowers, white, creamy, pink, yellow or red, blooming in spring and summer. Peony requires rich, fertile, deep, moist and well-drained soil in full sun. It doesn’t like too wet or waterlogged soils. Herbaceous peony prefers neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Tree peony is more tolerant of acidic soils. It needs a sheltered location. Large peonies tend to arch and need a support. Doesn’t like to be moved so once established, it should not be disturbed. Low maintenance plant, doesn’t require pruning. Generally, pest-free. Peony is a stunning, very adaptable, flowering plant. It is perfect as a specimen plant or planted in groups. Great for beds and borders or low, informal hedges. Ideal for cottage and urban gardens.
